LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 22, 2012) — Join the 70-voice University of Kentucky Men’s Chorus for a special concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27, in UK's historic Memorial Hall. The sixth annual Men’s Chorus Fall Extravaganza has quickly become one of the most popular concerts at UK. Featuring the nationally renown UK Men’s Chorus and the popular a cappella group acoUstiKats, the Fall Extravaganza is an entertaining evening of all-male voices.

This year’s concert features a special 20-year reunion of UK’s a cappella group the acoUstiKats. An all-male a cappella group, the acoUstiKats have performed for thousands of people at events ranging from basketball games, corporate parties, church groups to community events. There are now more than 100 former acoUstiKats members, and the Men’s Chorus is inviting all of them to return to perform at this concert tradition.

Jefferson Johnson, director of choral activities, formed the acoUstiKats in 1993 during his first semester at UK School of Music in the UK College of Fine Arts. Each year, the ensemble of 16 talented young men brings their distinctive sounds to events all across the Commonwealth. As part of the UK Men’s Chorus, this group serves to promote and encourage male singing of all ages.
